Stavanger, Norway (2001 – present)

Sirenia is a Norwegian - Spanish band, formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2001. Sirenia combines strong melodic instrumentals, keyboard synthesis, and guitar works with light, female vocals (Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen, and currently Ailyn), male death vocals, and a choir. Current band members are Morten Veland (programming, growling, clean vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), Ailyn (female vocals), and Jonathan Perez (drums). Most of Sirenia’s songs are atmospheric, yet intense with melodic backgrounds and interludes. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states.

Sirenia (at first called “Masters of Sirenia”), named after the Sirens of Greek mythology, was founded in 2001 after Morten Veland left Tristania. The band failed to find a suitable singer prior to recording in France, so they conducted auditions and found Fabienne Gondamin for the recording session of At Sixes And Sevens.

On the subsequent tour and follow-up album, An Elixir for Existence, Gondamin was replaced by Henriette Bordvik.

On September 13, 2005, it was announced that Bordvik would be leaving the band, and the search for a new singer commenced. Bordvik’s replacement, Monika Pedersen of the band Sinphonia, was introduced on April 10, 2006. In the same year, Bjørnar Landa (from Artifact) joined the band as a guitarist.

Nine Destinies And A Downfall came out in February 2007. This album features more down-tuned guitars that chug and growl, with a texture not previously heard on Sirenia albums.

    lOOOOl i love the last album so ... NP for me if the next album will be like the Album " Enigma Of Life"

    yesterday afternoon

  • tripodthunder

    Well it is 2012, so if the new album is like the last one, the world will end cause we might all kill ourselves or at least we all won't have to listen to the next album in 2013 because we will have gouged our ears out... dear lord I want another ASAS or T13F, my two favs by far, TEOL was god awful...

    yesterday afternoon

  • amotenamorado

    New Album please *-* LOVE YOU SIRENIA since 2002

    yesterday afternoon

    Wednesday morning

  • hammerstrikebg

    New album?... Come on... stop making albums every year. MAKE A MASTERPIECE FOR 3-4 years :(

    Tuesday afternoon

  • VampyreAngel

    Discovering that Sirenia is the proper name for "sea cows" kind of forces a new approach on the band.

    Sunday evening

  • Drostanxxx

    gotta agree with spikedylacid - give the formula the flick, Morten, and try to rediscover your originality - i know u gotta make money but FFS!

    Sunday morning

  • spikedylacid

    v really? It's exactly the same as T13F & TEOL just without female vocals. WHY MUST U BE SO BORING MORTEN?

    Saturday afternoon

  • umosay

    Whut, Mortemia is far better than anything post AEFE.

    Saturday morning

  • distortedguest

    It's completely mind-boggling. ASAS and AEFE were absolutely brilliant--some of the best gothic metal albums ever, I'd say. NDAAD and T13F were *okay,* but I'm not going to bother getting my hopes up after TEOL and that awful Mortemia album.

    Friday evening

  • TwoOldTrees

    Another express album x_x [2]

    merci Gounouman! I'd forgotten what an excellent band Angellore is - it makes up for Sirenia's present state ;)

    Another new album WTF, how much more of this tripe can he put out O_O He's just miking it now, these songs will be replicas of the last album. Where is Mortemia's 2nd album? Sounds like it's going to be even more simple, given the short composition time. Ailyn just sounds so amateur, why bother Morten! TEOL was just painful, oh dear. At least the previous 2 had some redeeming features...

    Fans of awesome gothic metal, I really recommend you this song, from the french atmospheric doom metal band Angellore. You will probably like it... Please, give it a try! Angellore - I Am The Agony. We would love to get your opinion over it. Thanks a lot for your attention...
